The Dancing Plague
The Dancing Plague is a voyeuristic documentary that choreographs Lebanon’s decadent culture of the night shaped by the detournement of the physical profanations that the city endured throughout centuries. This project explores the effects of these conspiratorial possibilities of the night not simply on the state of a nation but on an individual’s state of mind. Following night-walkers from different generations, it takes a flight from what, on the face of it, is a fairly restricted zone of enquiry, to become an intensely subterranean evocation of the strange gearing-together of social change and the human psyche.
